Just like my name depicts, I am a tall dark and handsome man with lots of style and ridiculously good looks. The ladies, they love me! I ended up in a regional pound and the ladies from AdoptADane found out about me and could not resist, I mean can you blame them?
I am now in a foster home with a foster sister who is head over heels in love with me and some little humans that adore me too! I like to play cool, calm and collected when I meet new people, I will saunter up to new people in my own times and expect them to shower me with pats and tell me how handsome I am. I am not too bad walking on the lead, but could do with a bit of training, I know the basics like sit, down, shake, give and fetch. I am not fond of sharing my food with other dogs, so I would need a home who will feed me strictly separately. I don't show any signs of separation anxiety or unnecessary barking, generally just barking when my foster sister does, I don't even know what I am barking at half the time.
I am is untested with cats, and I do ignore the chickens in their coop, however if there was no fence between us, I am unsure if I could resist temptation. If my adopters have cats or small pocket pets they will need to kept separate from me and gradually introduced. I require 5 foot fencing minimum, I haven't shown any interest in escaping ang going on adventures, but due to my size I would easily be able to jump the 4 foot gate which is the only low point at my fosters home.
If you think I could be your newest BFF, then please fill out an online adoption application:

Hi! I am Bentley and I am a young energetic boy who is looking for the perfect family to love me! I am a tad bit smaller than a Dane and we think I may have some working breed in me, that's why I am so smart and active! I really LOOOOVE meeting new humans, I get so excited when I see a new person to give me pats, I cant stop wagging my tail! I came from a regional pound and made the transition into a city dog pretty easily, my foster humans are great and I love that they take such great care of me. I have been in care as an only dog. however I am dog friendly when introduced correctly, ideally a doggy girlfriend that I can play with all day long would be ideal, if not, I am also happy being an only dog. My foster humans work full time hours and I am happy to laze around in the yard all day and I am not much of a barker.
I will need secure fencing (5 foot plus) as I am a bit of a sticky beak and jump up on the fence to see what is happening, he also likes to get his daily pats from the friendly neighbours! Who adore seeing his little head pop up over the fence. Between my love of food and scratches, I will be an easy dog to train, I am still young so ongoing training on lead and focus would be ideal. I am not suited to cats, I get SOOOOOOO excited when I see them, I just want to pounce!
I currently get 2 walks a day (spoilt I know!) and love to explore the neighbourhood and make sure all is in order and all passerbyers see how good I am sitting and come and pat me. So if you have an active life, love long walks, have good fencing and lots of yummy foods, please fill in an application so we can meet and discuss further. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed!

Hi! My name is Zephyr and I am on the search for a forever home. I am a bit of a nervous nelly when I meet new people, in particular men, but I warm up after a while, even quicker if you give me some yummy treats! My foster family have been wonderful however its time I leave the nest and find my very own family. I am hoping to get a family who are dedicated to teach me some lead manners, I have learnt to accept the head halt and that it means walks, but I still have a fear way to go. I have learnt a few behaviours and even know that I have to wait for my special cue before I can eat my dinner! Being food motivated I will learn quickly! I really like toys, so I need to ensure my new home has plenty of those! If I'm not given toys to play with I can get a bit destructive, but I am easily entertained. I don't mind the little mini humans, however I get very excited easily so kids that understand my size is a must. Ive met a cat and was a bit TOO interested! So a home without a cat would be ideal!
I like to let you know when someone enters the house, otherwise I am not much of a barker. I was previously an outside only dog, and I have really struggled to learn how to settle inside. But I am sure that would be something I could learn. I am not a fan of dogs that rush at me or react to me on lead, it scares me. I have previously met some medium type dogs as I was ok with them, but believe it or not, dogs my size tend to scare me! Ideally, I would be an only dog so I can get all of the human attention!
I am a very good boy, and all I ask is that I get the right family who will dedicate time to me and be patient whilst I am learning to trust. If you are interested in me, please fill out the online adoption application below (NOT a pet rescue enquiry):

Hi! My name is Dre and I am so excited to be finally looking for my forever home! When the ladies at AdoptADane first rescued me, I was in a really bad condition, I had a giant hole in my face where you could see through to my jaw and teeth. After many long vet visits and surgeries you can hardly tell, I only have a tiny scar! My life beforehand was not a fun one, I was locked in a dog run and had no interaction with the outside world. My wonderful carer has opened her home to me, and looked after me so well. I will be sad to leave her, but I know I have to head out into the world. I am currently an only dog as I needed some serious care and one on one attention. I have met some dogs and as long as they are nice and mellow and don't scare me, I am fine. Because I have spent a lot of time being on my own, I would need to ensure that any dogs in my new home are fed separately as I have never had to share things such as food. In my previous home, I wasn't good with other male dogs, however, I have met a mellow male dog and I was fine.
I am still a young pup at heart and get very excited when my mum comes home from work! She is my favourite human! I am not suited to a home with cats and small pets as my previous home had me locked away for chasing the little animals. My only downfall is that I need SECURE 6 foot fencing! Preferably colourbond, where there is nothing for me to climb. Growing up on a regional property there wasn't fencing and I was just put in the run when I was 'in the way'. If I had a human who was home a lot, that would be fantastic! Especially because I can escape when my humans leave, I just want to be by their side 24/7.
I have so much love to give and I am making up for lost time. I am finally learning how to eat properly, since I was unable to use my jaw and I am finally feeling good. I now know I don't have to worry about being locked away, I don't have to worry when my next meal will be and I don't have to worry that any injuries will be left to the point of serious infection, I now have awesome humans looking out for me.
I can be a bit nervous when meeting people at first, but warm up quickly. I really look forward to my new life and finding my very own human. If you think that is you, please fill out an online adoption application:

Hi! My name is Toby and the time has come for me to find my forever home.... I am taking applications pending my "big boy operation" I am not really sure what that means, apparently something about visiting the vet surgery and having a sleep?
I love people, I love nothing better than leaning in for a pat, I am quite large, so sometimes I accidentally knock people over. I really like other dogs, even smaller ones, I can be a bit rude when I first meet other dogs but I have the best intentions. I have met a few 'cats' they are interesting creatures and I think we could get along if they were nice to me.
You may have seen on the Facebook page that I went on a little adventure the other week, I do get a bit nervous when my humans leave me and for that reason I need secure 6 foot fencing. I can easily jump 5 foot, that extra foot is what keeps me safe. I learnt how to open the side gate when I went on my adventure, so now the gate is padlocked I am very secure and after staring lovingly at the humans and giving them my best sad eyes when they leave, I then spend the day snoozing, my foster ma knows this because she spies on me via a camera! Makes me feel important.
I am living with my foster sis who is a Dane cross and smaller than me, she is an energiser bunny who wants to play constantly, Im not the over the top playing kinda dog, I prefer just chilling with my furry friends. But she's pretty cool and keeps me company when I get a bit worried when home alone. I LOOOOVE going on walks and I walk nicely on the head halti, when we go for walks, I meet lots people and dogs, its my fave part of the day!
I am learning some manners and because I love food, it makes it easier. I don't really bark, but i do like playing zoomies up and down the fence with the little dogs next door. Ultimately I am just after a home with good fencing, a furry friend and someone who enjoys long walks. If you think that's you, then please fill out the online application and I will be in touch:
